[Late results of radiotherapy in patients with laryngeal carcinoma].
Distant results in 151 patients with laryngeal cancer who were irradiated at the Oncological Hospital in Lublin in years 1981 to 1986 are presented. Patients were treated using teletherapy Co-60. The localization of the primary lesion in the larynx and the status of the neck lymph nodes determined the choice of the treatment technique. All patients received 60 Gy to the tumour during 5-6 weeks of treatment. Radical irradiation resulted in 74% 5-year NED survival in this group. There were 23 loco-regional relapses. It was significant that 23% of them were found after a five-year period. The analysis of the treatment failures revealed a long-term menance of loco-regional cancer recurrence.
